Are there any alternatives to ToroiseGIT for Ubuntu?

I'm looking for something to integrate GIT with nautilus in the context menu.

Like TortoiseHG used to (replaced with HG scripts)

I suggest rabbitvcs, which supports nautilus integration for SVN and GIT:

  • +1 If you like the way tortoise works, you'll love rabbitvcs. Also there is a rabbitvcs plug-in to gedit so you can manage your versioning without leaving the editor. Feb 22, 2012 at 9:25
  • Sounds cool I'll check it out. it would have been a bonus if it supported mercurial also.

    It looks like they aren't maintaining binary releases anymore, so it's become much harder for new users to install this on Bionic and above.

  • RabbitVCS has a serious bug of not being able to commit the deletion of files. I had this issue too. (github.com/rabbitvcs/rabbitvcs/issues/308)

SmartGit is fabulous - http://www.syntevo.com/smartgit/

I've used Tortoise and for Git the SmartGit makes it that simple to use.

    It isn't free but has 30-days trial.

  • I used both. SmartGit lacks important functions for managing large repositories, eg. filter commits, only show commits with tag/branch, etc.
